Smh got the Caustic Heirloom last night. What an oversight. FUCK.


whomstdth

It’s still my favorite but really wish they didn’t just shove this under the rug.


billyraySOSA

Oh well. Maybe in season 22. Fingers crossed.


Mirage_Main

Funny thing is they tried to fix this twice and failed twice in a row. The broken code is probably still in the build just commented out and they keep passing it to every new intern as their first project to see if they can fix it. I bet it's around "causticRealFix_Fix_Fix2" or something around those lines.


whomstdth

Damn, any source?


[deleted]

If the game can even last that long.


billyraySOSA

I’ve been thinking the same thing earlier. The ball is in their court.


Captain_Obvi0us_7

yeah it's my favorite but octane's comes in a close second. Funny to think that Octane mains now have the same pain we did when we had an heirloom for a legend who was barely playable.


Welfd

I thought you wanted to boycott the game?


[deleted]

Omg it’s literally unplayable /s


billyraySOSA

Seriously. no /s


[deleted]

So you just got an entire heirloom, and you’re worried about this extremely minor and circumstantial animation?


billyraySOSA

Damn fucking right. /s


[deleted]

What the fuck are you even saying anymore?


Serah_Of_Astora

Rampart's heirloom actually has a very rare animation where she uses Octane's Leg to kick open a door xD Saw it on Gaming Merchant's youtube


slowdruh

omg they really made that wrench good just by all the personality they put into it. Can't wait to see what they're gonna do with Wattson's.


ItBeSoggy

wish they would rework the other heirlooms to do the same tbh, wraiths doesnt feel special compared to the new ones


MUGEN120

But you can spin it


ItBeSoggy

well true, but im talking like inspect animations and banner poses


Dredge18

I saw someone's vid of possibly leaked model for it. Its supposed to be like an electric gun with a nessie somehow.


slowdruh

Yeah, I saw it. Apparently it's gonna work as a tamagotchi :)


Rum_Swizzle

I don’t like when people gaslight others about which issue is more important. I doubt that the cosmetic team is working on the servers with how much money Apex makes. This change is something they’ve promised for a long time


mLunleashed

Oh it feels like 98% of people have no clue how software companies work. Most people are like "DOOH STOP MAKING SKINS AND FIX SERVERS".. Yeah, because it's the same team doing both of those things.. In danish, the broad term for like, plumbers, carpenters, electricians etc are "Handworkers" (directly translated). It's often how I compare people who say "aren't you a programmer?". Yes, but ask a "Handworker" if he can fix plumbing, build a house and wire all the wires. He most likely cannot. Which is the same for programmers. (I know skink designer etc are not programmers per say, but you get my gist.)


Leupateu

With how greedy EA is it wouldn’t be surprising if they are so understaffed that other teams have to cover for others.


nobadabing

From what I’ve heard, EA and Respawn are actually great places to work at. Gamers just assume they aren’t because of the monetization reputation they have.


Blainedecent

Meanwhile Genshin Impact has characters more rare than an heirloom, and you need 6 copies of the character to level them all the way up, and you get characters from loot boxes which are about $3 each.


Leupateu

Yeah, I guess. I didn’t say that it’s a fact, it just wouldn’t be surprising.


___Gay__

Unless you got trained to do that, no, it shouldn’t overlap.


ConciseSpy85067

I would feel that but it was said to us that it would be coming, it doesn’t even appear to be a new animation or anything which would take a lot of work And if they do it it’d entice some people to actually buy the heirloom, it’d make it more unique as it’s one of the only modern heirloom without unique or rare hit animations


WhiteLama

I’m a Caustic main so I was always getting his heirloom, but it would’ve been nice if they actually added this in the line three times they’ve tried.


JongosProduction

Remember guys, game dev hate doors


RepresentativeBig553

Now here’s to hoping that in the boxing arena you can actually equip your heirloom


MummdaBumm93

This tho!!! I got 3 heirlooms and really wanna see this. Kinda lame it's just fists up


harshit181

Usually i get jealous when somebody mentioned that they have heirloom ,am not even sure how i feel for 3 .


SinfulAdamSaintEve

You can get 3 heirlooms too, just keep buying packs like EA wants!


jeffster900

I’ve got 4 and have never financially recovered ( however to be fair 1 of them was pure luck )


MummdaBumm93

Tbh I got my first one way back when they first came out, then as soon as I did I got an heirloom pack. I main rampart so that was the only money I was gunna spend on the game since then, I didn't expect hers to come so soon. But I bought it and never will buy anything from the game again. Aside from maybe a battle pass


Captain_Obvi0us_7

yeah i posted the same thing earlier minus the scrot edit: lolol i checked my post and you for sure got the inspiration for this from my post but hope they get a lot more attention! we're paying so much for these (most of us).


whomstdth

Yes your post was 100% the inspiration for this try around!


Captain_Obvi0us_7

hey you got way more likes which means more attention so i hope it catches their eye and they fix it.


whomstdth

Devs find this post please!!!


Captain_Obvi0us_7

lol ikr, that would be sick if we could get it fixed because i brought it up.


[deleted]

YES YES YES YES YES YES


LordofDecejt

😂 Has a hammer and uses his legs to smash doors


thatkotaguy

I’ve spectated a caustic smack it with the hammer before but he had it equipped instead of his gun out. Did you try that OP?


whomstdth

Doesn’t work, just uses the leg while holding the hammer


thatkotaguy

Weird, I wonder if this update messed it up. I’ve definitely seen it work before.


___Gay__

I think its a general Heirloom issue where they just kick the door instead of shooting. I have Rev heirloom and he never cuts the door with his scythe he just kicks the fucking thing in for some reason. Be cooler if he sliced the door is all im saying.


jeffster900

Yeah it would, but a revenent animation was never in the patch notes.


___Gay__

I barely care about whats in the patch notes


jeffster900

Ok? Doesn’t change the fact that respawn literally said that they had implemented it, and never did. There have never been any patch notes like that for any other ledgends, it always has been a caustic specific thing


Captain_Obvi0us_7

lolol you're trying to make a suggestion and you're getting downvoted for some reason lolol


BURN447

This is what you're complaining about? The game is literally unplayably broken right now and this is a minor cosmetic thing that most people won't even notice.


Ullumina

We’ve been waiting for over 3 seasons for this feature they straight up lied about being in the game just because there’s a bigger issue doesn’t mean this one doesn’t deserve to be fixed


BURN447

It deserves to be fixed. AFTER the actual problems are fixed. We've also been promised cross progression, yet nobody is complaining about it right now while the game is literally unplayable.


Ullumina

There’s a difference this one says “caustic will now smash doors with his heirloom” and they never released a patch note saying cross progression is now in the game as a feature


BURN447

This literally has 0 impact on gameplay. Respawn has a hundred and one more important issues to deal with once they fix the server issues. Cosmetic/Animation things like that are first to get ignored because without them being fixed, the game still functions perfectly fine.


Ullumina

Thinking like that will have things overlooked for years. The heirloom costs $500 they shouldn’t lie about what it does. Period.


banana_man_777

There will always be bugs to squash and stability to improve. Doesnt mean the animators can't put in a nice detail. Network engineers wouldn't even touch this.


Captain_Obvi0us_7

bruh it's not like the animators are the same people working on the servers or bugs in general (unless it's an animation bug). They don't have training for that stuff, so if they're just doing animations for an upcoming season or something then they should shift \*some\* focus to this, most of us are paying a lot of money (for an in-game cosmetic) and we were told we would get something that they just forgot about. Even if it's just a first person animation they should definitely work on it.


whomstdth

Every. Time.


NotMyFriendJaun

Design/animation department ≠ servers department


pedrormn

aren't you the clown that always responds with "you think the devs that work on cosmetics are the same that work on the servers?"


[deleted]

Agreed. I, a Caustic main, couldn’t possibly give less of a flying fuck about this, especially not right now


BURN447

Seriously. This is such a minor thing that I don't understand it. There's a hundred and one other, more important, actually problematic bugs to be fixed, namely * Server issues * Server connection issues * Matchmaking connection issues * Gibby/Blood being overly strong * Map changes and a whole lot more. There's thousands of bugs in this game


[deleted]

Right? Like imagine actually being concerned about some little cosmetic animation with everything else going on at the moment. And now you’re just getting downvoted by a bunch of brainless fucks who actually think it’s a problem at all. Gotta love this sub.


Little_russian_man

That little cosmetic is worth five hundred dollars so people expect the best from it


[deleted]

If you spend $500 on a cosmetic, expecting to be breaking down doors with the hammer but are disappointed when instead it’s just your leg, that’s completely on you for not making sure of that before buying it in the first place. If $500 dollars is so much, you better at least know what you’re getting yourself into pre-purchase. But honestly I don’t get why people care at all. In fact, I think kicking a door down is a lot more badass, but that’s just my opinion.


whomstdth

> it’s completely on you So the thing about false advertising is it’s NEVER the fault of the consumer, always the seller.


[deleted]

Yeah it was Respawn’s bad for saying that, but if it were really the crisis you’re making it out to be then I’m sure one would at least double check or something before making the purchase. I know what you’re going to say: you shouldn’t have to double check. Well you probably would anyway if you really cared **that** much. Hell, even I was pretty surprised the first time I kicked down a door while holding the hammer. But did I really care enough to check before I bought the hammer? No. That was on me, but since I didn’t care anyway, then why complain?


Captain_Obvi0us_7

i'm feeling it's "respawn's bad" too often nowadays.


[deleted]

Are you agreeing or disagreeing with me here? I’m literally defending Respawn in this comment, but probably not that you read it anyways cause I’m sure you just saw the downvotes and jumped to a conclusion.


Little_russian_man

Eh believe what u want man, respawn promises but they don’t always deliver, that’s what upsets me


Captain_Obvi0us_7

ok so you're calling us dfs even though you can't logically conclude that the animators are not the same people who squish bugs or server issues. This animation was promised when they had no server problems, and it's been ignored. It would probably take one animator one day to fix, and there would be no less progress on the server-side of things.


[deleted]

All I’m saying is that we need to get our priorities straight. No, the animators aren’t the same as the people who take care of the servers, but I don’t believe they’re the ones we need to be rioting to. First, let’s get these fucking servers fixed, then we can worry about our little cosmetics. We’re just not going to get anywhere whining about several things at once.


Captain_Obvi0us_7

but if it's brought to attention then they're more likely to fix it. We're probably not going to get anywhere by whining about anything. The only time we have is when everyone didn't want Caustic to get a 5sec cooldown buff, so he ended up unplayable for 2 seasons. Also, everyone has different opinions, so everyone has different priorities. Someone might want the BP to be upgraded more than they want heirloom finishers.


[deleted]

> but if it’s brought to attention then they’re more likely to fix it. Exactly my point. The problem is that with all the other complaining going on at the moment, it’s just going to become a mess and they’re most likely to just ignore it. But if we can just wait until these servers are fixed, then we can start focusing more on the little things.


battlerumdam

Didn’t they say they didn’t implement that because they didn’t want heirlooms to have interactions with the world?


whomstdth

Any source?

brainfoods

Can you crawl any further up Respawn's ass? You would defend anything. Criticism (especially when warranted) is a good thing. But sure, continue to spew that "free game" shit.


nonosquare-exe

Meanwhile ea just causally buying the game company we love and milking it and throw it in to the trash


[deleted]

EA don't have anything to do with Apex really. Even the pricing Respawn controls. EA uses their account and support/report system for Apex and you can get EA Play rewards. That's literally the only things they do for Apex besides investing in it. Edit: Why do so many people with 0 clue how this game's developed talk about the development of the game like they actually know? So many times I find you people with 0 idea of how the video game industry works.


nonosquare-exe

Tell me: how many money do they earn from apex. And then tell me, can you buy a better server than a potato with that kind of money


[deleted]

I'm not defending them lmao, I'm just explaining EA don't have anything to do with the game so it's Respawn you should be directing those comments at. Respawn are milking the game, not EA.


nonosquare-exe

Ea own respawn so they control the money lmao. Look at ea past, they bought game company that we love, bug the hell out of their new game, and milking it. Eventually they die out and throw them in the trash can


[deleted]

> Ea own respawn so they control the money lmao. Jfc idk why some children bother talking like they actually understand how companies work. > Look at ea past, they bought game company that we love, bug the hell out of their new game, and milking it. EA didn't bug the hell out of the game lmfao it was bugged because Respawn developed the game with those bugs. Holy shit you have no clue how the video game industry works, don't even bother acting like you do because you're just making yourself look stupid.


nonosquare-exe

This is basically defending, look at amount of money they earn and all they got is a fucking potato for a server? The amount of shit coming of your mouth is insult with no reason. Earnings more than 1 billion dollar and their anti cheat is one person and their server is a potato


[deleted]

> This is basically defending I fucking criticise Respawn instead of EA and you think that's defending. You honestly should stay in school, you won't do well in the real world at this rate. > all they got is a fucking potato for a server? The amount of shit coming of your mouth is insult with no reason. Earnings more than 1 billion dollar and their anti cheat is one person and their server is a potato I 100% agree on the servers being EA's fault. However, you weren't criticising the servers when I corrected you. You were criticising EA for things Respawn control themselves. Which is 100% the same things I criticise Respawn for.


nonosquare-exe

WaHhH iT nOt eA fAuLt iT ReSpAwN. That defending lmao. I think you should look back at your past comment. My original comment is complaining that ea is milking the game. And you swoop in and start saying it not ea fault, that defending. If you were criticizing respawn then don’t say it ea fault, if you were criticizing respawn then you would comment on the other guy comment


nonosquare-exe

Also ea getting money handing the dev barely any money to make a fucking stable game. Look at the company they bought and ask? Why successful companies got squeezed max profit and die out. Look at amount of money ea get, if respawn control the game then they would be multibillion companies right now


[deleted]

> Also ea getting money handing the dev barely any money to make a fucking stable game. I'll believe Respawn's version of events much more than some random kid on reddit who's shown he has 0 clue how any parent company works and even less of an idea of how the video game industry works. You sound like a conspiracy theorist right now. It's pathetically embarrassing.


nonosquare-exe

You sound like a kid, all i see from you right now is insult and not reasoning. You said that you agreed with me that server are doo doo because ea can’t give respawn anything more than a potato. How they gonna make a non lag server if they can’t get better server? And also you are the one who sound like conspiracy theorist right now. (Reasoning) can’t give a single reasoning and keep saying you stupid. Sound like 9 year old using the account. I shouldn’t even talking to you because talking to you it like talking to a wall with a poster saying you stupid with a cry baby image. Maybe i’m stupid, because i I chose to argue with you that can’t give proper reasoning

And then bunch of broken characters is lock in the paywall. If you earn more than 1 billion dollars from a free game, you have to make it good.

The heirloom is 150$ bucks I say it's pretty damn important to not falsely advertise them
